HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN CLAY TOOL

Once I bumped in to a blog where the lady makes her own tools for cold porcelain crafts..It inspired me so much !

It’s a fact that we often don’t get exact tools ,hence we need to make our  own tools as per our requirements. These days I am doing lots of clay crafts.I have bought a set of clay tools from the local craft stores but I found those tools are often not useful when it comes to face-making or doing other intricate details.

Here I wish to share some tips on how I made my own tools out of discarded brushes

I believe that anything can be your tool as long as you are creative and as long as you know your requirements.

Things you need:

Old brushes which we often throw away .

A saw

Old news paper

A sand paper

old brushes can be a good tool

Cut of the metallic part off the brush using the saw

cut off

Then sand the remaining part of the brush,news paper will prevent your room from getting dusty!

The paints will come off as you rub it with sand paper,and the surface will become smooth..latter on you can make the surface more smoother with tiny –grain or water paper

You are done!

now see the difference between the sizes of shop-bought tools and hand made tools

Always keeps your wooden tools oiled. Any kind of oils will do..

making more with less is always fun!

if you have any question, feel free to drop it!
